Seventh Biennial Conference on Social Dilemmas

该会议奖将支持跨学科“测试动态社会困境中个体行为理论模型的工作组”(SD工作组)的下一次会议。社会困境是对个人最好的东西和对群体最好的东西发生冲突的情况。研究结果直接适用于公共政策和现实世界的问题，如慈善捐赠、环境、国际冲突、公共产品和公共资源的地方治理等。此外，可持续发展问题工作组的跨学科性质促进了思想的交流和社会困境研究科学的进步。可持续发展工作组自成立以来，一直强调将多种方法(包括正式理论、实验室、实地和调查实验、基于代理人的建模和观测数据)与多学科视角的见解相结合的重要性。这种多方法、跨学科的合作有助于增进对社会困境中行为的理论基础的理解和建模，并创造可用于改进和通报地方和国际治理以及改善社会福利的实际应用和解决方案。研讨会将作出几项重要贡献。首先，它将综合和传播关于社会困境的最新研究。第二，讲习班会议促进跨学科对话，促进跨学科边界的合作和思想交流，这在这些会议之外可能是困难的，因为部门和学科会议的传统结构。第三，将重点确定未来研究应解决的新出现的科学和实际问题。

The conference award will support the next meeting of the interdisciplinary "Working Group on Testing Theoretical Models of Individual Behavior in Dynamic Social Dilemmas" (SD Working Group). Social dilemmas are situations where what is best for the individual and what is best for the group are in conflict. Results from research are directly applicable for public policy and real-world issues, such as charitable giving, the environment, international conflict, and local governance of public goods and common pool resources, among others. In addition, the interdisciplinary nature of the SD Working Group promotes the cross-fertilization of ideas and the progression of the science of social dilemmas research. Since its inception, the SD Working Group has highlighted the importance of combining multiple methods (including formal theory; laboratory, field and survey experiments; agent-based modeling; and observational data) with insights from multiple disciplinary perspectives. This multi-method, interdisciplinary collaboration leads to improved understanding and modeling of the theoretical foundations of behavior in social dilemmas, and creates practical applications and solutions which can be used to improve and inform local and international governance and improve social welfare. The workshop will make several key contributions. First, it will synthesize and disseminate state-of-the art research on social dilemmas. Second, the workshop meetings foster interdisciplinary conversation and promote collaboration and the cross-fertilization of ideas across disciplinary boundaries, something which can be difficult outside of these meetings due to the traditional structure of departments and disciplinary conferences. Third, there will be a focus on identifying the emerging issues, both scientific and practical, that research should address going forward.
